My Dad heard Brandy barking several days ago, it was a weekday, and Brandy’s Mom was at work. Now Brandy knows when My Dad is taking me for a walk, or going by-by in the Scion xB, or if he is just walking with me. Brandy loves My Dad, and she know that if she calls to him, he will drop everything to rescue her, to take her for an emergency walk, or to allow her to come over to MY place to play with me. And when Brandy comes over to MY place, she acts like its HER place…sort of. She eats MY food, she eats MY chew toys…but she lets me jump on her, play fight, nibble her legs, sniff her ears, play-bite her neck, and play tug of war with my sheep plush toy.
But when I visit Brandy’s house – LOOK OUT – I never know how she is going to greet me…happily or VERY MEAN, like she wants to open my thoracic cavity. Brandy is very passive when she is off-turf, but when she is ON-TURF, that is, in her house or near her front door, she is a demonic schizoid. “OBEY MY RULES, DON’T TOUCH MY TOYS, DO NOT LOOK AT MY FOOD, DO NOT KISS MY MOM!!! YOU ARE IN MY DOMAIN…ARRRRRRRGH…
“ok, ms. vader. i don’t mean to upset you, i won’t look at you, i’ll pretend i am your prisoner, jeeez…take it easy…have you ever thought of a prescription for doggy-xanax, like a 20 year prescription?”
But come over to my place and we’re like…soooooo mellow. Pick a personality, Brandy. Love, Magic
You are very polite, Magic, to treat Brandy well, even though she doesn’t return the favor.
Hi Robin (and Rusty)! I know! But I am a sweet guy and all my people and dog friends know I am a sweet guy. Maybe that is the reason for Brandy’s behavior toward me…she knows I am a soft touch? -Magic
Oh Magic. I suppose you can not call Brandy your girlfriend. Passive aggressive personalities can make you miserable when “they” want their way. I like your captions very much. And maybe you would be wise not to allow her your sheep toy when she visits. 🙂
Haha… Totally predictable …. Lily crunched on Cody when he dared to enter her home. Before..,, best buddies. I remember blood being shed…..
Looking good, Magic. Good to know that you can manage to appease a diva when you need to. 🙂
Hey Mick! I have stellar management qualities, just like all Border collies. Thank you for the PRAISE…I love PRAISE. Be certain you get enough sleep. Thanks for checking in. -Magic
Hey Magic Ellie is jealous of your smashing spotty socks. Cool!
Nice to hear you are kind to guests
